The NEA's work is centered on providing support for the excellence in new and established arts forms; bringing arts to all Americans, and ultimately providing leadership in arts education.
In line with this particular goal, the NEA has constituted the Literature Fellowship for Translation Projects grant. The grant provides fellowships for published translators as they translate specific works of prose, poetry or drama.
The NEA encourages published translators to creatively translate literary materials which aren't adequately represented within the English language.
In addition, the NEA gives priority to literary pieces which may have not been translated to English before. The translated piece's literary excellence and value will likely affect the rigorous means of grantee selection.
The Literature Fellowship for Translation Project grants are for $12,500 and $25,000.
Interested applicants are needed to submit their applications electronically to the Grants.gov website. Deadline of such applications will be on January 5, 2012.
Published translators meeting the following criteria listed below will be considered qualified to apply:
a) Have to be citizens or legal residents of the US
b) Have published a total of at least 20 pages of creative literature translations (into English) in curated digital or print formats including literary magazines, books, anthologies, etc.
c) Have published an English translation of a novel or a volume of at least 20 pages of fiction, poetry, drama, essays, and creative nonfiction pieces
d) Had presented or produced (by a professional theater) at least one full-length play which you translated into English
On the other hand, published translators would not be qualified to apply:
a) If they have previously received three or more literature fellowships in fiction, creative non-fiction, or poetry
b)If they received any literature fellowships from the NEA within the past five years
c) If they desire to use the grant for scholarly writing
d) If they wish to use the grant to acquire academic degrees.
The National Endowment for the Arts, the main agency that funds the Literature Fellowship for Translation Project, is an independent agency of the US federal government that is dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts; bringing arts to all citizens of America and providing leadership in arts education.
